About AbleHeart Too

Still pushing wood. Over 1/2 century of play. The game holds endless surprises. Like Gordon Lightfoot in "Sometimes I think it's a shame when I feel like I'm winning, but I'm losing again."

Beautiful Spring 2024. Everyone. I feel blessed to live in such a great country with so much hope, liberty and prosperity.

In addition , (The above was found online at https://www.chesscoachonline.com/chess-articles/how-to-beat-chess-computers) I would add always choose a move which introduces the most complexity into a position provided the position appears to offer equal chances. For instance, keep postponing the dual opportunity to castle either kingside or queenside as the complexities bifurcate accordingly. If ahead, it's usually best not to obfuscate, but pick the clearest strongest line that limits the opponent's possible responses.
